Q: QuestionDoes it go from floor to carpet and not mop carpet

Asked 4 months ago by Gamegirl.

• A:Answer Yes, the Roomba 105 Vac goes from floor to carpet without mopping because it is a "vac-only" model that does not have any mopping hardware. If you are referring to the Roomba 105 Combo, it will transition from hard floors to carpet but will automatically avoid mopping the carpeted area.
